Lead Propulsion Engineer, Mechanical Design

Role Overview

As part of the Propulsion Team, you will:

• Own the design features covering all the mechanically dynamic phenomena in the engine, including loads, actuation, rotordynamics, failure scenarios, and more.
• Develop technically sound design solutions to get Symphony turbofan in the air as fast as possible!
• Interpret, define and review tolerances and features on part drawings.
• Create physical layouts, models, and general arrangements of modules and whole engines such as 2D cross sections, 3D models, tolerance stackups, etc.
• Contribute to the creation of whole engine models that incorporate structures, rotors, ducts, services routing, actuation, secondary air systems and thermal management.
• Collaborate on specifications and design requirements for each module and help lead cross-discipline integration efforts.
• Act as the technical owner for all mechanical aspects of the engine, including fits, seals, mounts, joints and other components.
• Develop and implement plans for assembly and disassembly for both development and production.

What Will Set You Apart
